Les Colocs were a popular alternative rock band from Quebec, Canada, active mainly in the 1990s. Known for their energetic style and socially conscious lyrics, they blended rock with elements of reggae, blues, and folk. The band was formed in 1990 by André “Dédé” Fortin and quickly became a major influence in the Quebec music scene. Les Colocs are remembered not only for their music but also for their outspoken views on political and social issues. The group disbanded after Fortin’s tragic death in 2000, but their legacy remains strong in Francophone music culture.
